Agony - Slaughter to Prevail

I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool

For your love, for your fucking dream

Muzafaka!

I want to know if you’ve touched the centre of your own sorrow

If you’ve been opened by life’s betrayals

Or have become shriveled and closed from fear

Of further pain, I want to know if you can sit with pain

Mine or your own without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it

Can you be with joy mine or your own?

And let the ecstasy fill you and toes without cautioning us

To remember the limitations of being human

And each of us will have to go through the agony

And each of us will have to go through the agony

It doesn’t matter if the story you are telling me is true

I want to know if you can disappoint another

If you can bear the accusation of betrayal

And not betray your own soul, man

I wanna know what you ache for

I want to know what you live for

And if you will risk looking like a fool

For your love, for your fucking dream

For the adventure of being alive

And each of us will have to go through the agony

And each of us will have to go through the agony

Looking like a fool for your love, for your fucking dream

And each of us will have to go through the agony

And each of us will have to go through the agony

It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here

I want to know if you will stand

In the centre of the fire with me

And not shrink back

I wanna know what you ache for, ache for

I wanna know if you touch the dark

I want to know if you will stand with me

In the centre of the fire

And not shrink back

Each of us will go through the agony

Each of us will to go through the pain, through the fucking agony

Each of us will to go through the pain, through the fucking agony

Hell in us!
